An interesting question as to the author
ity of the commissioners in regard to the
making OF record Of land subdivisions on the
plat Of the city is to be tested in the court
for the purpose of ascertaining what mayb be
their legal powers In the premises. Daniel

OF subdivision Of lots 81, %, and 23, square
l62, located at the corner OF Seventeenth
and NJ streets northwest, and presented the
same TO the surveyor for record Mr.. For
eyth made the proper examination, and
finding that the requirements and requi-
sites OF the law had been complied
with, certified that the subdivision was
correct He, however, refused to ad-
NIT the subdivision to record on the plat
book unless the approval OF the District
commissioners was first obtained. Mr.
Case. through his attorney, Edward j.
Stellwagen, claimed that the commissioners,
under the law, had nothing to do with the
examination, approval, and record of the
proposed subdivision Of land, and that the
surveyor alone was charged with the duty
Of examining the subdivisions, and In
proper cases admitting them to record.

Fish on the Desert.

A most astonishing discovery was
made one day some two weeks ago, on
the desert about ten miles southeast of
Mayhew's halfway house between Flor
ence and Casa Grande, and three miles
from Mr. j. c. Loss's ranch. Felix May
hew and a Mexican were out hunting
horses when they espied a small water
hole some two or three feet in diameter
and quite shallow. Mr.. Mayhem rode
up to it intending to water his horse,
when he found it alive with fish. He
left the Mexican at the place and rode
to Loss ranch for bucket to save them
alive, and when he returned the rapidly
receding water had left the fish almost
dry. Out of the little hole were taken
four fine carp, one five inches, one ten
inches, one twelve and one thirteen
inches in length, and they are now en-
joying the hospitalities of Mr.. Mayhew's
water tank and may be seen by any one
that passes his station. How the carp
reached the water hole is the great mys-
terry, as no one has noticed sufficient
overflow of the Santa Cruz to bring
them across sixty miles of desolation,
and yet there is no other way Of account
ing for their presence in the desert. =

Moderation in Diet.

'The Roman soldiers, says the Sci
entiic American, 'who built such Won
derful roads and carried a weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They were
temperate in diet and regular and CON
slant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only fruit and some olives,
yet he walks off with his load of 100
pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is more
.ctive and can endure more than the
aegro fed on fat meat. The heavy work
Of the world is not done by men who eat
the greatest quantity. Moderation in
iiet seems to be the prerequisite Of en-.
lurance."

The Cork Oak.

The growth of cork-oak in California
is not matter of experiment; its sue
cess was demonstrated long ago. The
distribution of cork-acorns by the Patent
Office about twenty-five years ago may
not have accomplished much in other
parts of the country, but it gave us a
start, and there are now trees yielding
cork and bearing acorns at a number OF
different places in the State. There are
trees growing on Mr.. Richardson's place
at San Gabriel. There were samples Of
cork and acorns shown at the Sacrament
to Citrus Fair by II. A. Messenger, Of
Calaveras County. There are trees of
similar age in Sonoma, Santa Barbara
and Tulare, and perhaps other counties.
The State University is growing seed
lings from California cork acorns, and
will be likely to have the teees for dis
tribution next year. There is no doubt
about the adaptation of the tree to the
State, as the widely separated places
named above all furnish proper cOndi-
tions for its growth. 1t is of course a
crop of which one has to wait some time
to gather, and therefore needs patience
in the planter.
All the corkwood of commerce comes
from the Spanish Peninsula, where the
trees abound not only in cultivated
forests but also grow wild on the noun
tains. The tree is like an American
oak, and acorns. 1t takes ten years for
the bark to become a proper thickness
to be manufactured into bottle shoppers,
life preservers and seine corks. When
stripped from the tree it is to be boiled
for two hours, cured in the sun for a
week and pressed into fiat pieces for
baling and shipping. The denuded
trunk, like hen robbed Of her eggs
does not sulk and quit the business, bui
throws out fresh covering for fresI
spoliation. One tree has been known te
yield half a ton of corkwood. Ono
pound of cork can be manufactured into
IA champagne corks. The baled cork
bark is sold to cork manufacturing cen
tres. The most extensive mandatory
in America is at Pittsburg. Besides the
ordinary demands for cork bark, a good
supply of the buoyah material, after be-
ing burned, to make it still tighter than
the original bark, is shipped to Canada
and New England, where it is made into
seine corks. The average annual i'm
portation of corkwood into this country,
entirely at the port of NewYork, is 70,
900 bales a year. A bale weighs 100
pounds, and is worth on this side of the
water $50, making total value of the
importations of 81 400, 900 1t comes IN

Sea Songs.


Aloft and allow in the glimmer and glow Of
stars,
Across and along the path of the new moon
creeping,
The dawn Of the crescent sails on the dusk Of
spars,
Leans over to kiss the lips Of the ocean
sleeping.
The wind that touches the secret pulsing
Aloft and allow on those perfect breasts of
snow,
Is grooming across the midnight's peaceful
spaces
A song that came out Of chaos through
time to grow
And under the bow the lucent rippes break
In shapes that are fair, in rhythm that is
sweet beyond measure;
Till the heart is full and no more its thirst
can slake
In the fathomless fountains Of joy where
the sea makes pleasure.
Afar where the waves and the sky together
are growing,
Out of the jaws of night with muttering
roar,
Comes tremendous thnnder, a sound as Of
sea kline lowing:
!. The voice of the deep that is sullenly
shifting the shore
Adown from the measureless mountain Of
sails above,
When the starlight falters and melts and
is too faint to glisten,
A sailor lad murmurs an old-world ballad
of love;
And the sea and my heart are silent and
tremble and listen
